Butterfly Lifecycle

 

To create these (delicious!) butterflies, simple chose a desirable template from google images:

 

I selected this one and copied it onto cardboard. Students coloured and decorated their butterfly and I poked holes in them for the lollipop.

Soda - Sugar Content (Float and Sink)

This was a very interesting experiment conducted in my Year 2 Science class.

Hypothesis: Why do some cans sink while others float?

Materials:
- Four different soda cans - two being diet. All being equal size and volume.
- One large transparent container
- Water

Method:
1. Fill the container with water
2. Place a regular soda can in the water
3. Observe and discuss
4. Place a diet can in the water
5. Observe and discuss
6. Repeat with other two cans

Findings:
The sugar content in a regular can on soft drink is higher than that of a diet can, therefore leading to differing densities. The regular soda cans will sink whilst the diet cans will float.

 

 

Sugar was shown to demonstrate the sugar content in the soda can.

When I Grow Up

Each student was asked to write about what they wanted to be when they grew up as part of our HSIE unit on 'Change Over Time'. They dressed in character and presented a speech to the class. We also role-played and I video-taped it as part of our assembly item.

Here is our wall display of "When I Grow Up I Want To Be...."

An island is land.

What a very clever way to remember the spelling of "island"! (island clipart found here).
